Some Excerpts

How has Tomb Raider changed your life?

Tomb Raider cambió mi vida por completo, fue un antes y un después en ella, sinceramente. Es gran parte de mi vida, 11 largos años. La colección me ha enseñado tantas cosas, he aprendido tanta geografía, y lo mejor es que he aprendido muchos valores. Tomb Raider fue mi entretenimiento cuando estaba de mal humor, cuando lo pasaba mal en el colegio, me siento muy orgulloso de haber conocido la saga tan pronto… Lara Croft es como una hermana mayor para mí.

Translation: Tomb Raider has completely changed my life quite radically. Over the past 11 years, the Tomb Raider series has played a major role in my life and has taught me a lot about geography and, more importantly, moral values. Tomb Raider kept me entertained when I was in a bad mood or when something bad happened at school. I’m extremely proud of having discovered the series at a young age. Lara Croft has been like a big sister to me.

What are your thoughts on Lara’s image? Is she simply the product of a sexist gaming industry or can she be seen as a positive role model?

Lara es un ejemplo a seguir, una aventurera nata, una mujer intrépida y valiente. ¡Una diosa! A la gente le encanta difamar acerca de Lara Croft, no es ningún producto comercial sexista, es un personaje genial que llama la atención en todos los sitios, tiene un gran corazón, una personalidad de oro y un humor fantástico.

Translation: Lara is a great role model, a born adventurer and a daring, fearless woman. A goddess! People enjoy slandering Lara Croft but she isn’t a product of commercial sexism. She’s an amazing character that captures one’s attention and has a good heart, a golden personality, and a fantastic sense of humour.
